Fox premiered Linwood Boomer's Malcolm in the Middle, starring Muniz, on
January 9, 2000, as a mid-season replacement, and the show was quickly
met with accolades. The premiere episode was watched by 23 million
people and the second episode by 26 million. He was nominated for an
Emmy Award in 2001, and received The Hollywood Reporter “Young Star
Award” for his work in the series. Throughout his television career,
Muniz made guest appearances on the shows Lizzie McGuire; Sabrina, the
Teenage Witch; and MADtv. His first starring role in a feature film was
as Willie Morris in the 2000 family period piece My Dog Skip, which was
released at the same approximate time as the pilot for Malcolm in the
Middle. That same year, he provided the character voice of Domino in the
2000 video game 102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue, and was featured
on the video game Stargate Worlds. The following year, he contributed a
character voice to the animal cast of the film Dr. Dolittle 2. He had a
hit with the 2002 release Big Fat Liar, which teamed him with teen
actress Amanda Bynes as a pair of students seeking revenge on a sleazy
movie producer (played by Paul Giamatti). Muniz was also part of the
ensemble for the gang film Deuces Wild, released that same year. In
2003, he made a cameo appearance as Cher's underage boyfriend in Stuck
on You. That same year, he appeared in the series premiere of Ashton
Kutcher's MTV practical joke series Punk'd. Muniz subsequently played
the title role in the film Agent Cody Banks as well as its sequel, Agent
Cody Banks 2: Destination London. The first film opened in March 2003,
and grossed $47 million; the sequel, which opened a year later, grossed
$28 million. He trained in martial arts for the films, and performed
most of his own stunts. He also commented that it was the point in his
career where he should “make the transition from child actor to an adult
actor or a respectable actor.” Muniz provided the character voice of a
zebra named Stripes, who wishes to become a racing equine, in the 2005
film Racing Stripes. That same year, he made a guest appearance as
himself in “Mr. F,” an episode of the Fox comedy Arrested Development.
In April 2006, he began filming My Sexiest Year, an independent film in
which Harvey Keitel played his father. He announced, during that same
month, that he would be taking a break from acting, in order to pursue a
career in race car driving, under a full-time two-year deal with Jensen
Motorsport in the Formula BMW competition. Malcolm in the Middle
finished its run on May 14, 2006. Ten days later, on May 24, Muniz
appeared in the horror movie Stay Alive. He expressed a desire to leave
traditional Hollywood film roles behind, saying:

Growing up has never scared me until last year. I started thinking about
getting older, being an adult, and it scared me. Hopefully things will
work out in my career. If they don't, then it was never meant to be.

Despite his earlier stated intention to take a break from acting, in May
2006, he signed on to star in the R-rated teen-sex comedy Extreme Movie.
The film was originally planned to be released in 2007 by Dimension
Films, but was ultimately released straight to DVD in February 2009. In
late 2007, he made a guest appearance in an episode of the CBS crime
drama Criminal Minds. In December 2007, he made a cameo appearance in
the movie Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, playing Buddy Holly. In 2008,
he began work on a film with former Missy Elliott protégée Brianna
Perry, but the project was never released. Muniz made a foray into the
superhero genre with the family action film Pizza Man, in 2011. In 2012,
he made a cameo appearance as himself in the second season of the comedy
Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. In 2015, he made another cameo
appearance in The Mysteries of Laura, in which one of the detectives
(Merideth Bose) had a crush on the actor/ racecar driver (Frankie Muniz)
who was competing in a drag race. The team was on an NYPD case and
suspected evidence would present itself at the drag race. On September
6, 2017, Muniz was announced as one of the celebrities who would compete
on the 25th season of Dancing with the Stars. He was paired with
professional dancer, Witney Carson. Muniz and Carson finished the season
in third place.
